Don’t Get Burned From An Explosion Accident

Funny thing about explosions… You don’t have to be in the specific area of the explosion, to actually be affected by it. Example of late: the Boston Marathon bombing. It’s true, those in the immediate area suffered the most devastating injuries, but people unfortunate enough to be in just the general area were struck by flying debris, knocked down by the concussion of the blast, hit by falling debris from buildings and more. Look at what happened in the fertilizer factory explosion in Waco, just lately as well. Mile after mile after mile of homes were devastated, by the mere concussion of the massive blast. This is only one of the reasons that explosions are so very effective in crimes; both terrorism and non-war related crimes.

When Explosions Are Accidental

Accidents do happen, but sadly they could usually have been prevented. Many individuals work in an atmosphere that presents somewhat volatile situations be it with dangerous chemicals, flammable liquids and gases, large, heavy machinery, highly pressurized piping and machines… The list goes on and on. Some jobs are just dangerous. And sometimes they are made more so, by the negligence of others. If you work in a dangerous situation, you should know full well that the rules are there to protect you and your fellow workers from being injured or killed on the job. If you ignore those rules, you have no one but yourself to blame, when you fall victim to the results. If however, one of your coworkers or the owners of the business itself are to blame for you getting hurt on the job, that’s a whole other ballgame. Now, it’s time for a lawyer.

Fire in the Hole

If you get burned by a chemical or by an explosion at work, you certainly don’t want to get burned again in the aftermath.
